Very nice and unique. Being a farm family, we could appreciate the atmosphere. Kitchen area was great and plenty of gathering spaces. Only concern was that it wasn’t very accessible for our elderly parent in bathrooms and bedrooms were on top and bottom level, none on the main floor. Overall, a wonderful experience.

Overall a great place to stay! Close to parks and other family friendly fun. The stairs like to rough up heels but once you figure out to walk a little sideways with your feet it’s much better! You’ll understand when you feel it. Ouch!

Thanksgiving with family

We spent the long Thanksgiving weekend at this stunning barn. ‘We” means 12 family members of various ages. This beautiful barn offered us space to be together when we wanted to play games , dine or just relax and plenty of space to escape to when we wanted a little solitude . Kitchen if fully stocked with utensils, glasses, cooking pans etc. The bedrooms and bathrooms were nicely decorated and offered peaceful and private sleeping. Cannot say enough great comments about this barn.

Fantastic weekend reunion

We were able to get our entire family together to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. We had our three children with their spouses and our 11 grandchildren from Friday night to Tuesday morning. We loved the country setting and the spacious facility. Went to WI Dells for a day at a water park and to Hartman Creek State Park for a day hiking. Wonderful Big Red Barn was our home away from home and it was GREAT!! With 7 bedrooms, 5 baths, a great deck, wonderful fenced backyard, fire pit - - we could not have asked for more!! Wonderful condition and cleanliness - we loved it!! Thanks to VRBO and Mike H. for this fantastic weekend for the Nyberg family.

The property was beautiful. Up until we arrived, the host was very communicative, kind and helpful. However, the first night we were there we found a bed bug. We were unable to get in touch with the host during our stay — she was away in another state without service, and we weren't able to connect with her until we were checking out. We contacted the caretaker for advice during our stay and he was also unable to get a hold of the host. He did apologize for the situation over the phone. We did as thorough a search of the property as we could, and cleaned as much as possible. No one came to check the property while we were there, despite sending photos of the bed bug to the host/caretaker and expressing our concern/uncertainty about what to do. We were unable to use 6 of the beds as a result of where we found the bug. We had nowhere else to go with such a large group. The host offered 200 as a refund for this situation. The house was otherwise lovely and the host had been responsive up until the weekend we stayed. Our frustration was largely with the lack of communication/action during our stay and the stress/uncertainty everyone left the weekend with in regard to the status of bed bugs in the home.

A few major things did not work. The A/C. Temp was 75 and a/c was set to 70 and it would not come on. Very uncomfortable sleeping in the loft. One of the stoves griddle knob was broken off and wouldn’t work. Cooking for 8 men made it difficult. Also we never were able to get the tv to work in the basement and it took over an over to figure out the main floor tv. There were no instructions on the how to do it. Overall I don’t think we’ll go back. Al Benning

Bachelorette Party

We had a group of 13 girls and we had a wonderful time, crafting, drinking and eating lots of food!! We had plenty of room to do everything we needed to do, we were short one bed, but we were able to use an air mattress and put it up in the loft!! Wonderful place and I will definitely recommend this place!! Thank you!!
